I have a late model 855d gator and I thought this would be an easy one. I removed the seal and noticed a lip on the outside and a 1/2 " grove inside that the seal sets in. So it looks like you have to split the case to get the seal in. This is what it looks like but why have one like this.
the manual has that you"install the seal with an appropriate seal driver" and that's all it says. My seal driver is just tapping it in .
l hope you can see what I mean. Should I just push/tap it in? I gave it a shot on measuring the hole but cant get a good reading with the shaft in the center.
it looks like it has to go over the lip and into the grove like a snqp ring
the new jd seal is nothing special and like a regular seal that you tap in.
placing the seal next to it looks like a tight fit.
I may put some silicone in the grove and give tapping a try.
suggestions?
